Replacing a Security Server with an Omnissa Unified Access Gateway Appliance

Replace a security server with a Unified Access Gateway appliance.

Procedure

  1. Uninstall the security server software.

  2. Remove the security server's LDAP entry: vdmadmin -S [-bauthentication_arguments] -r -sserver

    See Removing the Entry for an Omnissa Horizon Connection Server Instance Using the -S Option in the Omnissa Horizon 8 Administration document.

  3. In Omnissa Horizon Console, register the Unified Access Gateway appliance.

  4. At the network firewall between Unified Access Gateway and Horizon Connection Server, remove firewall rules associated with the removed security server and add firewall rules associated with the incoming Unified Access Gateway. The Unified Access Gateway needs to communicate with Horizon Connection Server on TCP port 443.

    The back-end firewall rules for Security Server to Horizon Connection Server are as follows:

    SourceDefault PortProtocolDestinationDefault PortNotes
    Security ServerUDP 500ISAKMPHorizon Connection ServerUDP 500IPsec phase 1 negotiation.

  5. Configure and start the Unified Access Gateway appliance.
